Fergus the Sea Dog

New Fergus adventures are always kindly met, and this book would be brilliant to take to the beach with small children. Fergus is an exuberant little pup, and soon finds a playmate in like-minded Salty. This new puppy friend takes Fergus back to his owner, Captain of a fishing boat, and soon the two dogs enjoy the sunlight sparkling on lazy waves, seagulls swooping overhead. What a change from the farmyard, thinks Fergus. Checking crab pots, rescuing exhausted baby seals and a sudden storm keep the pace fast, as the Captain struggles to control the boat. How relieved Fergus is to reach the harbour safely. With instant appeal in the drawings, this enjoyable new title warns about the dangers as well as the delights of the sea.
